350 Super ensures an outstanding thermal performance Atlas Foundation System, which features an innovative


interlocking design to eliminate thermal bridging and ensure superior insulation, combined with stability for the foundation slab. Both the contractor and the homeowner, Charles Vickery, particularly liked the strength of the block, both in terms of the ease of construction and also the minimal bracing of the blocks required prior to each concrete pour. The BEWI high density cavity closure product was also used on all four sides of every external door or window opening. The result is a building with a total construction cost of just under £1m, which has an outstanding thermal and acoustic performance and highly insulated structural walls and fl oors. The building has an P rating of  – where 100 represents zero energy usage.
